It is a predetermined event or trend that many people jump onto. It evokes fear in the public and for that reason, it holds value. Governments, big businesses, and those who seek to sow uncertainty in society benefit from this fear. Thus, it has prac

You would be amiss to have not noticed there is a war on our ability to make sense of the world going on right now. The information wars are raging in the western world. The war on reality, the wa

There is nothing the elite hate more than having their narratives disrupted. Of course, in today's world getting your narrative even heard is challenging enough. The elite do have the benefit though of the media who will suck up every ounce of bait that those in the seats of power in government, big business, and especially big tech give them.

Is that even possible in todayās world? Can you make sense of all the noise? If we put aside for one moment the rhetoric and hyperbole from each of the main party front liners and their spin doctors, which are bad enough, and we listen to the media pundits, bloggers, podcasters and YouTubers canā¦
